you are never too old to set another goal.


Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. Since my last post, I have been eating too much, spending time with loved ones, and generally just getting wrapped up in all of the wonder and excitement this time of year is known for. It has been an incredible week or so....and I am just now starting to get back in the swing of things. A new year has now begun and we are starting 2018.

There are many emotions tied to the start of a new year. I find myself looking back on 2017 and feeling proud of everything I accomplished. I also find myself looking forward to the incredible experiences that are still in front of me. This year is shiny, new, and full of promise. I can only hope that it will be memorable for all the right reasons.

Last year, I spent a lot of time working on my New Years resolutions. I checked in with them often and really held myself accountable. Update? I can happily say that I accomplished an awful lot of my goals. Some were long-term, others were short-term, some related to my personal life, and others had to do with my writing. And a few had to do with makeup! This past year, I applied makeup on a couple of different people (a goal of mine), cut back dramatically on my makeup purchases, and made use of what was already in my collection. I also did my best to play with colour and break out of my makeup comfort zone. These were all steps in the right direction, for sure!

There are many new resolutions on my list for this year. And a few repeats as well. Fingers crossed, I am able to accomplish them all.

What are your New Years resolutions?
